Connecting Playback Wings and Extra Wings

To configure Playback Wings and Extra Wings open the Setup Window and choose View System, View Wings
view.
In the Type field, choose "Playback / Extra Wing". When the console has detected the Playback wing it will
show as "Fitted" in the status field. If you wish to connect more than one Playback or Extra Wing then enable
the required number of Wings.
Make sure you enable enough the same number of wings as you connect to MagicQ. Connecting more Wings
to MagicQ than you enable will cause unpredictable results.

Connecting an Execute Wing

The MagicQ Execute Wing is fully supported in software version v1.3.8.1. The Execute Wing has 48
playbacks arranged as 12 fader playbacks and 36 button only playbacks. The Execute Wing can be
configured simply to control Playbacks, or it can be set in a mode whereby the 36 button only playbacks
become a 72 button matrix for use selecting heads, palettes, groups, media and execute buttons.
To configure the MagicQ Execute Wing it must be set up as two consecutive wings in the Setup, View
System, View Wings. The first wing must be configured as "Execute" and the second wing as "Execute
Top". This corresponds to the 48 playbacks whereas with standard Playback Wings there are only 24
playbacks.
The Execute Wing has a mode button called MENU. When this is pressed and held then the 2
buttons becomes a mode selection page. The mode button affects the top 3 rows of playbacks – it does not
affect the bottom row of 12 playbacks – they are always configured as normal Playbacks.
The mode options are:
Playbacks 3 rows of 12 playbacks each with separate GO/BACK (default)
Exec Access to the Execute Window, enabling complete user configuration of the buttons. Use
PG UP and PG DN to select the Exec Page.
